Fort Charlotte

Fort Charlotte was a British naval fort that was located in northwestern Jamaica. Originally known as Lucea Fort, the fort was seized by Edward Kenway's pirates in September 1719. In 1745, it was renovated, and it was renamed after Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in 1778. In 1862, the British military handed over the maintenance and ownership of the fort to the Executive Committee of Jamaica. Today, it is a part of Hanover Parish.
